Once upon a women
A woman is born carrying lots of gifts ready to give it away for someone she loves. She has the gift of beauty, philanthropy of childbearing, boon of physical purity, and the ability to love and care.
Today I am sitting here with my elder sister and a ten year old nephew who is forgotten by his father about two years ago. The man one day suddenly moved out of their life with new wife putting all the false accusations upon their head and never came back. My sister is living her days on Relief Kidu from His Majesty (Thank you Your Majesty for looking after your people) which recently stopped.
Meanwhile another woman, mother of three sons pops up at my sister's. She too talks with my sister about her husband coming home drunk last night, rummaging all her clothes and burn it to the ground. She talks how he bet her first born when the son tried interfering with what the drunk father was upto. She says the husband got a new wife in Nepal but he's unable to go due to lockdown. She narrates her husband plays PUBG whole day and she is the one who makes their ends meet at the end of the day getting kicked and beaten on top of it.
For men, what I want to say is, only what is in between your legs doesn't make you a man, it takes love, understanding, loyalty, courage, responsibility and many more to be a father to a son, husband to a woman and a good son to your beloved parents. The Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel said being a male is a matter of birth, being a man is a matter of age but being a gentle man is a matter of choice. I couldn't agree more with him about it. After espousing someone's flower-like daughter, do not leave after her petals wilt and whither or turn her into a punching bag. Man are stronger by birth, use the strength to protect your family. Use your strength to knockout bad guys trying to hurt your family instead of bashing your helpless kids and defenseless wife. (I know there's situation vice versa but let's talk about it later.)
For girls, I want to say, study well with dreams and bigger goals in life. Get into colleges and turn into good civil servants or learn a good business, start working to earn on your own. Always aspire to be independent in life with your own earnings and your own saving. Do not fall for small promises men make for men are like spiders, they weave webs and eat away whatever trap into it. Don't start weeping over broken heart at the age of adolescence for you have bigger things to do and brighter place to reach than shedding tears over a love that isn't meant to last forever. Like I said in the beginning, you are born with countless gifts, it's your choice whom you bestow it.
For women, I say hold on. Like Tupac Shakur said to his mom if you make it through the night there's a brighter day, a brighter day shall shine in your life. Keep working, never let your sorrow eat away your hope. "Mothers are the greatest warriors in the world" says Rocky in a movie called KGF Chapter One. Success is sweetest revenge for the one who left you making thousand promises and taking everything from you. You are the greatest mom and you can make your son/daughter the brightest, most beautiful, most kind and the best.
